A lot of buddhist concepts would work well for us. The idea that every man and woman is a God or Buddha onto themselves dates back to ancient African religions.

Meditation would be a better stress reliever for those goin thru the struggle than praying.

The idea of limited minds that have traces from outside forces and the necessary steps to attain "big mind" would help a lot of us too. The traces of eurocentrism on our minds influences how we see ourselves, how we see the world, what we do and what we don't do.
